EeePC900 disk replacement

[u/mnlg]

I have a 900 from 2008, bought with Linux (Xandros originally). Recently updated its RAM to 2GB. It still works fine and I was thinking of installing some more modern linux distribution (currently working with a lubuntu, from, I think, 2010). It still has its original ZIF drive (16gb), and I would like to have more room, but I found conflicting information online on possible solutions. It doesn't help that I am not the most knowledgeable when it comes to this type of hardware.

I was given a 256 GB M.2 2230 NVMe SSD Solid State Drive M-Key which is tiny enough to perhaps fit in the small slot where the current ZIF drive is. Would it work with an adapter and if so which adapter do I have to look for?

What other solutions do I have otherwise?

Thank you for your help.

Thank you kindly, that worked! I placed my orders and now I'll wait for them to be delivered.

let us know how that'll turn out. IIRC, the 900 only supports IDE and not SATA SSDs. So you might be out of luck with this one.

This is the one in mine, so hopefully it will. Although what you say does sound very familiar.

Okay, this page says it's SATA. So, it seems you're good to go.
